Help me give my students the Headsets and the sanitizer box so they can have the opportunity to listen to French at their own pace and be able to practice their speaking skills on their own, safely!
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are learning a new language and culture. It is more demanding in some way than English or Math. After a few months of learning French, my students started to be more open-minded, more curious. I love this about them. They want to talk, try speaking French, and learn more about it. I don't have one class when I don't get questions related to French culture. At the beginning of the school year, I had questions related to their likes. "Do you have Vans shoes in France?" Do you have rap in France?" " Do you have cellphones in France"? Lately, as time passes, I now had those questions: "Do you have a president? Are elections different in France?" " Do you celebrate thanksgiving?", etc. I didn't have to answer the last question. I just ask them to think about it, and they came up with the answer and why on their own. (This was a proud teaching moment). I want them to keep asking questions, and learn more about French culture. They want to use what they learn and I want to give them more opportunities to do so!
My Project
My students are learning French for the first time and are often shy to speak in front of their peers. It is often difficult to have all of the students speak the language long enough in class for them to improve, and so many don't get the chance or are too shy to try. This will help with their speaking skills. They can record themself on the computer, or repeat vocabulary words/ sentences directly to the computer without worrying about their classmates.
They also have to take a listening exam at the end of the course, and those headsets will allow them to focus more on what they hear and work at their own pace.
Students can then listen to the audio as many times as they want without stopping instructions. Those headsets will definitively be an asset in French class.
And with Covid19 and the regulations, the sanitizing box will help stop contamination in the classroom., not only for the headset but for all the students touch on a daily basis!
